you are right!!! alice clark is awesome ... the best one!!!
you know that, i know that.... see if anyone else notices
it's been reissued, dude, no need for any secret squirrels
Yeah, I would say at this point, that Alice Clark may be the most widely known LP in the thread! Not that you'll find an OG around anytime soon, but I bet more folks have that in their MP3 collection and on their radar than Dave Hubbard (good choice, whoever picked that, btw!).
Not my favourite mainstream album, but I???m surprised this hasn???t been mentioned yet
Now that one didn't impress me. Some of New York's funkiest session musicians get together to make an album, but the results just don't jell. For the most part.
Mainstream put out a weird compilation called The Guitar Players that included a song from this album that's actually good...I'm not sure of the title because they recredited the artist, but I think it's "Dueling Guitars" by Chuck Rainey & David T. Walker.
And as far as the compilation itself...urban jazz, rural blues, and the damned Amboy Dukes (featuring Ted Nugent wailing away), all coexisting on the same record? Believe it! It's still a good album, just a little schizophrenic.
I'm still looking for that Jay Berliner LP (he appears on this comp as well).

once again thanks man.
Can you recomend any good Chuck Rainey albums? I always wanted to hear more of his solo work.

The only one I've heard (does he have any others?) is the one on Cobblestone, The Chuck Rainey Coalition. It's good enough, it gets by, but it's hardly an out-and-out classic.

I have this comp - what an ugly cover! I picked up the Jay Berliner based on the tracks from this album, it's decent ... like you would expect from the comp, it's pretty much the same sound as early Dennis Coffey LP's.

great record.
I like 'Choma' a lot too. Same line-up I think.
This has a lot of sentimental value, and one of my favorite soul/jazz covers in "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay"
'Hard-Mother Blues' by the Ernie Wilkins Orchestra, great large group funky jazz.
Lots of good ones to choose from on Mainstream.
dont forget the rawk

I think this is the only Mainstream LP I have, anything similar in this vein?
Frank Foster is cool too but it's not as unique as the Alice Clark record IMO.
Ernie Wilkins: VINDICATED!
It's been a long time but I remeber not being impressed by this.
All it is is just a lowkey family blues band that evidently worshipped Jimmy Reed - A LOT - but it works for me.
Yes indeed, especially I Destroyed Your Love Part 2.

Alice Clark - Very consistent LP - love "Charms Of The Arms Of Love".. To me, it's solid but doesn't have that much WOW factor
Frank Foster - a classic.
Blue Mitchell - as commented by someone else. The album with "Dorado" on it is on Mainstream isn't it? Quite good!
I like
Harold Land - Damisi
Sarah Vaughn - Feelin' Good (contains that treacherously looped "jus a little lovin")
Buddy Terry (album with "awareness".. mad spiritual jazz)
